10、nt near my company. The food there is delicious. M: Oh, we will have a second dinner soon. What“s the relationship between the two speakers? 解析 场景推理题。题目询问两个对话者是什么关系。对话开头女士没拿定主意吃什么，希望男士提些建议，很多考生以为男士是服务员，因此选择 A。也有人因为后文出现 get promoted 和 my boss 等用语，错选 D。从全文来看，特别是男士说“friends are friends”，可知答案是 B。A.The m

12、东西很贵，但男士让她想吃什么就点什么，这才是答案所在，故选 D。A.There were not many Chinese restaurants before. B.Many people emigrated out of his country.C.It is famous for the different recipes.D.It prevents foreign languages from getting in.解析：听力原文 Which of the following statements is true about the man“s country? 解析 推理题。在对话中
13、，男士谈到他们国家有来自世界各地的人，他们带来不同的语言和烹饪方法。C 项中的 famous 与对话无关，B、D 两项与事实相悖。之后他提到现在连(even)中国饭店也有很多了，即以前没有很多，因此 A 项正确。A.He cannot understand why she always speaks nonsense.B.He does not think the woman knows how to enjoy herself.C.He believes the woman is capable of being promoted soon. D.He hates to choose bet
14、ween Chinese cuisine and French cuisine.解析：听力原文 What does the man think of the woman? 解析 四个选项主语都是 He，谓语动词都表示心理情态动作，而宾语部分与“她”有关，故可推测，本题问男士对女士的看法。男士虽然没直接说过 C 项中的内容，但根据他说“不久就会再次一起吃饭”的预测，可以看出他非常相信女士的工作能力，因为女士许诺升迁了也要请客，答案为 C。A、B 两项均与原文不符。题目询问的是男士对女士的看法，而 D 项描述的只是男士自己的喜恶情况，纯属答非所问，故 D 错误。五、Conversation Two

19、本对话发生的场景是餐馆，问供应或点了什么食物。对话开始处，侍者问“您要点什么?”女士回答说：“我来份炸鸡排。”接着，女士又点了米饭作主食，以雪碧为饮料。可见 B 正确。A.French.B.Italian.C.Ranch. D.Germany.解析：听力原文 What king of dressing does she ask for? 解析 侍者说，点炸鸡排送一份沙拉，并问女士用什么样的沙拉调料。女士从侍者给出的四种调料中选了 Ranch，故 C 正确。A.For its salad.B.For its pies. C.For its cheese.D.For its fries.解析：听力
20、原文 Why does the woman like to dine at Heavenly Pies? 解析 选项均是“介词 For+食物”，可推断提问与为了吃什么有关。女士说想看馅饼的菜单，说这是她为什么来这家餐馆吃饭的主要原因，可见她喜欢吃这家餐馆的馅饼，也即为了馅饼而来这家餐馆吃饭，故选 B。其他三个选项的食物均可从对话中听到，但都不是女士来就餐的原因，均可排除。A.The baker was hurt at work and can“t prepare them. B.The oven is broken and hasn“t been repaired.C.They are ser
21、ved only on Sundays.D.The pies have been sold out.解析：听力原文 Why is the restaurant not serving pies today? 解析 侍者解释为什么没有馅饼供应时说：“两天前我们的面包师在厨房里踩到香蕉皮滑倒了，背部受了伤。”故 A 正确。六、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. （分数：12.00）A.They wan
22、t to attract attention.B.It is fashionable to wear such clothes.C.They appear respectable in such clothes.D.Riding a motorcycle makes one dirty. 解析：听力原文 Nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of Americans“ most popular sports. However, there are several things about motorcycling that the average
23、 citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently get dirty. In fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects and bird droppings. For practical reasons, they are often dressed in old clothing, which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in c
24、ars. For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Of course, the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people“s low opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than it“s commonly believed. He must pay careful attention to
25、his driving. From that point of view, a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car. Why do motorcyclists often dress in old and dark clothing? 解析 读题，主题词包括 they，clothes，motorcycle。由此可大体推测本文的话题，从而为听的过程提供了背景。文中提到“骑摩托车的人经常浑身脏兮兮的。因为路上没有什么东西为他们遮挡泥土，以及昆虫和鸟类的粪便。”故选 D。A.It is efficient.B.It is exciting
26、.C.It is convenient.D.It is dangerous. 解析：听力原文 What“s the average citizen“s opinion about motorcycling? 解析 短文开头处 however 后的内容是听力重点。听到 the average citizen dislikes 可知，普通市民对骑摩托车持负面态度。A、B、C 均是正面态度，唯有 D 与此相符。此外，短文后面具体说到，骑摩托车危险，所以人们对其评价不高。由此也可选出 D。A.If he always wears protective clothing.B.If he can see
27、everything around him clearly.C.If he is very careful. D.If he has a lot of defenders.解析：听力原文 How can a motorcyclist be safer than a car driver? 解析 由四个条件句可知，本题将问到某个细节。原文结尾处两次提到 careful，并且说从这个角度来看，骑摩托车的人比开车的人更安全。八、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just he
28、ard. （分数：12.00）A.Making noises.B.Our own system of language.C.Combinations of different sounds. D.A group of sentences upon our own creations.解析：听力原文 Speech is one of the most important ways of communicating. It consists of far more than just making noises. To talk and also to be understood by other
29、 people, we have to speak a language, that is, we have to use combinations of sounds that everyone agrees stand for a particular object or idea. Communication would be impossible if everyone made up their own language. Learning a language properly is very important. The basic vocabulary of English i
30、s not very large, and only about 2,000 words are needed to speak it quite well. But the more words you know, the more ideas you can express, and the more precise you can be about their exact meaning. Words are the main thing we use in communicating what we want to say. The way we say the words is al
31、so very important. Our tone of voice can express many emotions and shows whether we are pleased or angry, for instance. What are used to stand for a particular object or idea when we speak a language? 解析 四个选项是(动)名词词组，与语言有关。可据此听取录音信息。根据原文中的定语 combination of sounds mat stand for a particular object or
32、 idea，选 C。A.It does good to communication between people.B.It encourages people to speak out their thoughts.C.It enlarges the vocabulary of a particular language.D.It hinders communication among individuals. 解析：听力原文 What if everyone made up their own language? 解析 D 是对原文“如果每个人都有自己的语言，就无法进行交流。”的同义表达。另
33、类解题法：由选项知，本题将问“它”的作用。A、B、C 均说它好，D 说它不好，而且 A、D 属于矛盾选项。据此，可以做出大胆推定：选 D!(没有听问题就选答案!)A.Words.B.Tone of voice. C.Sentence structures.D.Sounds.解析：听力原文 What is also important besides the main thing in communicating? 解析 四个选项均是名词(词组)，与语言有关。本题在最后，应在短文末尾处找答案。the main thing in communicating 指的是 words，而问题是此外还有哪些
34、主要的方面，答案在最后两句话中，因此不选 A而选 B。九、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.William Smart.B.Mrs. Dodd.

38、.

39、une.B.Second Sunday in June.C.Third Sunday in June. D.Decided by each President.解析：听力原文 When is “Father“s Day“ celebrated nowadays? 解析 短文说，“父亲节是 6 月的第三个星期日”，据此判断 C(6 月的第三个星期日)为答案。本题与常识性知识有关；若有相关知识，又听清了问题，则更易选出答案。A.To honor only your father.B.To honor all fathers around you.C.To honor father-like figures. D.To honor Mrs. Dodd“s father.解析：听力原文 For what purpose do we celebrate “Father“s Day“ according to the passage? 解析 文章最后说，“父亲节到来时，我们不仅要向我们的父亲表示敬意，还要对所有像父亲一样的人，如继父、叔舅、祖父和成年男子等，表示敬意”，可知 C(对像父亲一样的人表示敬意)为答案。A“只对自己的父亲表示尊重”、B“对周围的父亲表示尊重”和 D“对 Mrs. Dodd 的父亲表示尊重”与录音内容不符，均应排除。
